NEW HAMBURG, ONTARIO, CANADA, October 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A two-session, online-only Gas, Oil & General Store Advertising auction featuring the outstanding Jason Patzer Collection is planned for Saturday, November 15th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd., with a morning session at 9am and an evening session 6pm (Eastern time). A total of 437 lots will come up for bid across the two sessions.

“As a successful home builder, it’s impressive Mr. Patzer found time to build such a collection,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions. Ltd. “Much like his business, he took it seriously, sourcing the rare variations. We’ve never handled a collection of Canadian petroliana quite this comprehensive. He held nothing back. It’s stuff you simply can’t find. We’re proud to offer it.”

Most of the expected higher-dollar items will be offered in the morning session, led by lot #222, a Canadian 1930s Service Station Equipment Company “ClearVision Model 700” double visible gasoline pump, an exceptional example of a show-quality restoration to Supertest branding and colors. Supertest operated numerous gas stations across Canada. The limited run of the Model 700 make this 124-inch-tall gasoline pump extremely rare. It should gavel for $25,000-$30,000.

All estimates in this report are in Canadian dollars.

Lot #189 consists of two Canadian 1930s single-sided porcelain Ford V8 Dealer signs mounted back-to-back. The sign celebrates Henry Ford’s iconic and revolutionary V8 engine, introduced in 1932. The sign is impressive at 79 inches by 76 inches and is retained in the original frame, including brackets, which extend 22 inches in height from the upper edge. Condition grades are as follows: V8: 7.5; Ford Oval: 7.25; Oval: 8.0; V8: 8.0. The estimate is a lofty $20,000-$25,000.

Lot #267 is a Canadian 1930s single-sided porcelain Red Indian Aviation Motor Oil sign (“For Those Who Want the Best”), 26 ¼ inches by 72 ½ inches and in untouched original condition, graded 8.0. The sign shows Red Indian’s distinctive Native American logo, in full headdress (often called a war bonnet), symbolizing the noble characteristics of courage, bravery and hard work. The sign isn’t perfect by any means but it’s still expected to command $20,000-$25,000.

Lot #162 is a Canadian 1958 round double-sided porcelain Supertest Service Station dealer sign (“Canada’s All Canadian Company”), five feet in diameter and graded 8.5 on both sides, with both exhibiting excellent color and gloss. Supertest Petroleum was founded in 1923 in London, Ontario. The company utilized the green maple leaf logo on its signage to emphasize its all-Canadian heritage. This fine piece of Canadian petroleum history should bring $12,000-$15,000.

Lot #251 is an American 1940s Chevrolet (“Super Service”) single-sided porcelain neon sign, tested and working and measuring 42 ¼ inches by 49 inches. The sign, graded 8.75 and made by Walker & Co. (Detroit), dates back to a time when Chevrolet dealerships implemented a “Super Service” program designed to promote a comprehensive, high-quality service experience. The neon sign symbolized a new era of full-service automotive care. Estimate: $12,000-$15,000.
